Paper record of electricity meter readings.
This is a metal can containing a paper record of electricity meter readings.
The can has two parts - an outer cup which contains the inner metal cylinder.
The inner cylinder is recessed to avoid the paper record being damaged aginst the walls of the outer cup, and also forms the lid of the container with 'Meter Record' printed on the end.
The readings are from dates between December 1945 and March 1960.
This was probably used at a distribution facility or industrial location, as it is doubtful such a thing would have been used or required at a domestic premises.
